Did Jesus tell Peter to sin with the statement, God said to Peter: Rise, Peter; kill, and eat (Acts 10:13)?

You asked, did Jesus tell Peter to sin with the statement, God said to Peter: Rise, Peter; kill, and eat (Acts 10:13)?  Think about it for a moment, what was Peters reaction to the statement.  Peter said  "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."  If you are saying, that Jesus said it was OK now to eat “unclean” animals, now was the opportunity Jesus had to cement that we can eat unclean animals.  But what did Jesus say in response.  Jesus said,  "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."  We are told this happen 3 times, then the vision was taken away. 

Then what did Peter thought, he was wondering about the meaning of the vision.  Remember, this vision was 10 plus years after Jesus death.  What happens next, was Cornelius story, an unclean Gentile that Peter and the rest of the Jews would not associate with and failed to go with the gospel to the unclean Gentiles.

I think Luke words what Peter said about this vision was, “it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.”  That is what the vision is all about.  It is not about unclean food, but about future saints of the Living God.

To answer your question, No.  Jesus comments to Peter at first were to call attention or special emphasis to the point of calling unclean Gentiles, impure or unclean.  All that was, was a “figure of speech”.  We know there are all types of figure of speech through the scriptures.  These verses do not prove we can now eat unclean animals.
